Keynote Speaker – Shelley Taylor
Empowering Educators for Student Success
Full PERA implementation is upon us! Have you made the connection between teacher practice and
student growth? Shelley Taylor, Director of Teacher Effectiveness, at the Consortium for Educational
Change, will share her expertise as we look at improving teaching and student learning in the context of
collaborative structures. Teacher evaluation systems need to move from being highly compliant to those
supported by communities of practice as a process for social learning. The key shift will be moving to
practices and procedures where “teachers do with each other as a community of learners.” Shelley will
focus on different types of assessments that empower educators, the art of reflective practice, and critical
factors in the stages of change and how those should be considered when establishing policy for teacher
evaluation. Join us for a robust and engaging session on a topic that impacts ALL educators!
